Michael Lewis On The Colbert Report

Michael Lewis, author of "Liar's Poker", the big 'End of Wall Street' recent hit piece in Portfolio Magazine, and now his new book "Panic: The Story Of Modern Financial Insanity" appeared on The Colbert Report last night. In the intro to the show, Colbert even took a dig at Jim Cramer, saying the title of Lewis' new book sounds more like Cramer's autobiography. (ba dum ching!)

Although in typical Colbert fashion, he didn't let Lewis get a word in edgewise during the interview, but it's a pretty humorous exchange nonetheless. You can watch the whole episode online here:
